Hi: Any new info on this, location specifics, hotels, etc? I hope to be there and meet many of you in person. -- Tom Fine ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nelson-Strauss, Brenda" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Friday, June 27, 2008 9:38 AM Subject: [ARSCLIST] 2009 Conference- Save the Date The 2009 Conference will be held in Washington, D.C. from May 27th-30th. This is the week immediately following Memorial Day weekend, so conference attendees will have the option of arriving early and exploring the many attractions that D.C. has to offer. I am still working on the hotel contract, but expect to release details shortly. Room rates in D.C. are sky high, but we've been able to negotiate a rate of $149 s/d at a newly renovated hotel on Capitol Hill, within walking distance of Union Station. I hope this is enough information for advance planning and budgeting purposes. I will be working with the Outreach Committee on a more official announcement in July, and we will also be adding specific hotel information to the website as soon as the contract has been signed.
